MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON 

Last week, before Congress went home for the holidays, four Republicans joined House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' discharge petition to force a vote in the House to extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits.1 Now that the discharge petition has 218 signers, the House must vote on the measure when it comes back in January. If the House passes a clean extension of the subsidies, it increases the likelihood that the Senate could act quickly. Send a message to your Senators and Representative urging them to act immediately in January to vote on and pass an extension of the enhanced ACA premium tax credits. SEND A MESSAGE With out-of-pocket premiums more than doubling for tens of millions of people in the New Year, this sets people up with impossible choices between having health insurance or having enough money to pay for other necessities like housing. In November, we asked supporters across the country to share their stories with us, after they knew what their increased costs would be if Congress did not extend their tax credits. Here are some: From Cincinnati, OH: “I am a senior living on my pension and savings, and my monthly ACA health insurance premiums just rose from $10.07 to $293.57. Needless to say, I can't afford government healthcare anymore even though my taxes fund it and the healthcare that ALL of Congress enjoys. This is taxation without representation AND a backdoor way to privatize all healthcare in this country.” From Omaha, NE: “I’m a 64-year-old woman who recently lost my job due to a reduction in force. My husband is a retired minister and qualifies for Medicare. While I was employed, my ACA health insurance cost was just under $300 a month. Now, without the tax credits, my ACA premium will jump to $950 a month. I have several health issues, so going without insurance isn’t an option.” These stories represent the millions of people who will suffer if the ACA premium tax credits aren’t extended. Congress must act as soon as possible. Send a message today, urging Congress to vote to extend the ACA premium tax credits now.
